Coolant Reservoir Life Expectancy--2006
New coolant reservoir arrived today. I was suspicious of the off brand and very low price of the offerings at Rock A, so I went with CARiD. They listed Dorman 603-319 for a bit under $50. About $63 delivered. Looks well made. Will install this weekend...- Burro II

Starter Motor Replacement Questions...
122,000 miles and the starter motor is working fine...today. But from all I can tell it is original. But I don't think Jeep/DC were known for making parts that last forever. So I am planning ahead here and want to put one on my parts shelf for that day. Replacement metric is quality, not...- Burro II

O2 Sensor Accessability
OK, I searched but could not find this info. Probably it is out there, but I will just ask again: How accessible are the O2 sensors? The down streams are easy from what I read so far, is that so? But I found no info on replacing the upstreams and Haynes and Chiltons are silent on it. They...- Burro II

Coolant Reservoir Life Expectancy--2006
Mine seemed to be leaking with the cap that come when I bought it a couple of weeks ago. Cap gaskets were cracked so I figured that was likely the problem. I replaced it with a NAPA 16 psi cap. Most of the problem went away, but not all. FWIW- Burro II

Coolant Reservoir Life Expectancy--2006
That's good to know. Turns out though that mine seems to be leaking around the joint at the neck and bottle. Will keep an eye on it. Leaking makes a mess under the hood. About $75 range is new replacement cost.- Burro II

Coolant Reservoir Life Expectancy--2006
I would have thought Jeep learned from the Renix era XJ's that pressurized plastic coolant reservoirs are just trouble waiting to happen. I owned an '86 back in the day. Dealer new purchase. Trouble within a year. What service life is typical of pressurized reservoirs on the KJ? Are there...- Burro II

Mobile Radio Antenna Mount for KJ? Anyone?
Looking for ideas, pics, and experience for two way antenna mount on a KJ. I used a gutter bracket on my XJ for my UHF mobile radio. But these KJ's got no gutters. How do you do it? Pics? Vendors? etc welcome. Thanks- Burro II

Trans fluid drain and refill...
I'm putting in a large parts order for the 06 Lib with 3.7 and auto. Included on the list are trans filter, gasket, and fluid. Question: How much fluid is typically needed when just dropping the pan and changing the filter? (ATF +4 type of course. I guess that's religion around here)- Burro II

1996 XJ For Sale (Tree Damaged)
As mentioned previously, my XJ was crushed by a tree, so I replaced it with a newer KJ. But I know Jeep interest here is beyond just the KJ. So with that I mind here is the Craigslist posting of my XJ for sale with lots of pics, since some members here have indicated interest...- Burro II

Need advice for shocks...
It's called pain the joints and hands and knees. Same reason I stopped surfing. When the pain makes it no fun, and the endeavor causes more damage, then I find something else to do.- Burro II

It is the only waggie quad headlight two door XJ you will ever see. Sadly it got crushed in a snow storm tree fall a few weeks ago. That is why I picked up the KJ.- Burro II

Need advice for shocks...
Bought my first Cherokee XJ in 1986 new from dealer. Last one I still have is here: But I am too old to dive into another hands on car project. Will see how the KJ goes. My son has had one since new in 2002. Likes it's off road and poor weather performance. He lives in...- Burro II

2006 Gadget/Gimmick Questions
Thanks for the feedback. Seems like these new fangled features are actually appreciated by most owners. Specific problem I have had with ABS is backing down my step long driveway when it is icy. With Cherokee ABS if one wheel locks and begins to slide all four brakes release and start...- Burro II

Need advice for shocks...
I will look into that. Don't want a harsh rock buggy though. Did that on my XJ. But I was really wanting suggestions on specific mfgr and model of shocks. I am working within a budget, so perhaps to presume the springs are weak and and suggesting "installing new shocks is worthless, waste of...- Burro II

2006 KJ. 3.7 Auto Command Trac Just bought this one. 121K miles on what I presume are the original shocks. Pretty thumpy on the bumps. Most driving will be either highway, mountain roads, or semi-improved forest roads. No rock stuff, sand, or mud. What are the suggestions for...- Burro II
